Corporate Ally Honored at Bahaghari Awards for LGBTQ+ Inclusion

Quick Take: In a lively display of corporate pride and genuine allyship, the Bahaghari Awards 2025 once again set the gold standard for workplace inclusion, spotlighting a leading corporate ally whose initiatives have moved the needle for LGBTQ+ progress in the Philippines.

A Night for Champions and Changemakers

At this year’s much-anticipated Bahaghari Awards, inclusion was centerstage as industry leaders, advocates, and community champions came together under one rainbow-hued roof. The Philippine Financial and Inter-Industry Pride (PFIP) brought extra sparkle to its yearly gala, now recognized as the country’s most prestigious recognition for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion, by honoring organizations and individuals who champion diversity and empower queer Filipinos across industries.

Corporate Ally of the Year: Turning Promises Into Progress

This year’s Executive Ally of the Year award went to an influential corporate leader known for going beyond performative allyship. PFIP’s judges highlighted how executive support translates into concrete policies, diverse hiring, and a visible, caring culture for LGBTQ+ employees, all essential in creating safer and more empowering work environments.

Recognition Beyond the Rainbow

What sets the Bahaghari Awards apart isn’t just glitz or trophies, it’s the real-world impact. These awards not only commend leaders but push companies to “walk the talk”: building gender-affirming policies, supporting grassroots Pride networks, and backing anti-discrimination advocacy. As PFIP emphasized this year, allyship “is not just about visibility; it’s about transforming the workplace so every Filipino talent can thrive.”
